MusicLover Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hi all! I'm deeply into HIFI as some of you guess from my nic. Linn/Naim/Lejonklou are the brands I own. Now when most of my kids are teenagers it was time to get a bike agin. (last bike was a BMW 1000cc boxer) It was hard to decide between VFR800 and a CBR600 but got my hands on a pristine 1998 VFR. Red of course :) I love the engine note and love the "non VTECH" mechanical sound. So...that's me folks! And finally an humble advice. Skip the iPhone/spotify music and get a proper huge stereo and own records. Why only have a great sound when riding your VFR? Rock On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicLover Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Greetings! Found this forum and registered. Seems to be a bunch of nice and friendly Honda owners around.

Great choice of bike you probably have there, but you need to add some pictures to your post to prove it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I open a pic in a pic-editor SW and just store it (no modification needed), then no rotation, when I upload it to the forum. Check your personal messages . . . Thanks! Appreciated.

Knight Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 And finally an humble advice. Skip the iPhone/spotify music and get a proper huge stereo and own records. Why only have a great sound when riding your VFR? Rock On Hi MusicLover. I'm a novice rider and purchased my 1999 last year. I have had Rhapsody since its inception. I am a lover of classic rock and a guitarist as well. Having a huge catalog at my fingertips, wherever I go, has been a great blessing. I recall debating paying $15.99 for an album and the cost is something I do not miss. Yes there are negatives to compressed music, but it has also brought great freedom to the people. Perhaps you may make a recommendation: My Samsung TV audio makes a low frequency vibration, and I need to replace it with better sound. We have no room for a rack of any sort. The #1 thing I would like is crisp dialog so that I no longer have to blare a show or movie in order to understand the words being spoken. I have begun to consider a speaker bar for this purpose. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are quite decent and are connected with your TV using optical cable. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a high-end audio dealer in town, I will see if I can get Canton there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
